Need a last-minute idea for Halloween? So did I! I was fresh out of ideas for Halloween after what has been a series of very fun and rather elaborate Halloween costumes. This year I went simple and straight-forward: T-shirt + markers.

Find a hero you like. See how they make their costume. Convert to a T-shirt. Very simple, very satisfying.
I did Wolverine from Marvel's X-Men. If you have to draw a lot, make sure you have a few markers available as you can run through them quickly. Also, permanent marker, despite its name, does run if you wash the shirt. Wash by hand to avoid too much running (and to keep other clothes from getting markered), or better yet do not wash the shirt until after Halloween.
